Brief Answer:
Need evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
For treatment your husband need to get evaluated to know about the cause of the ection erproblem. He needs to get evaluated for BP, diabetes and sex hormons imbalance as problem in these parameters lead to erection problem.
Following hormonal and other tests are required:
Cbc.lft.kft.tsh.free testosterone. Prolactin. Fbs. Lipid profile. Urine R/M. Semen analysis.
Masturbation do not cause erectile dysfunction. But regular masturbation may lead to more desire for masturbation in place of sex, to satisfy sexual needs. In treatment it is better to stop it completely. As he responded to LycoRed (which is a multivitamin and antioxidants) in past, then he can start it again, 2 times a day.
He need to do daily cardio exercise to improve blood circulation in genital organ. For short duration viagra is helpful to gain confidence but should be taken after written prescription from physician.
Take care
